4 Months of Catch Up... Whew!

So I have about 4 months worth of pictures to catch up on so I'm going from the most recent to the oldest. I definitely didn't put up all that I could've but there are still a ton so . . . Here it goes! My Grandpa Reynolds turned 80 on October 19th so we went over to my mom's house for a little surprise party for him. We had a huge surprise party just this past Sunday but this was the decoy party. Pratt is now 8 months old and is so big. I can't hardly believe how fast the time has gone by. He is starting to crawl slowly and he loves everything that he probably shouldn't have, such as paper, plastic, remote controls, phones... he's so funny and I just can't get enough of my baby boy. We think he weighs about 20 lbs now. I can't believe he's getting so big. He loves giving me huge smiles when he wakes up in the morning or when I get him up from his naps. Those smiles get me through the day. He LOVES to eat. He makes the most hilarious noises when he eats because he loves his food so much.
My mom got my grandpa some balloons for his birthday. Pratt loved those and grandpa loved to play with him.

As many of you know Tyson's sister and I decided to surprise his mom for her birthday and paint a huge portion of her house. We had Tyson's dad take her out of town for the weekend and we painted out butts off for 2 1/2 days straight. I'm pretty sure I got about 10 hours of sleep in 3 nights. We were so exhausted after but the look on her face was priceless. Thanks to all who came and helped! We also had a birthday dinner ready for her when she got home and dessert. It was so much fun but next time I think we'll spread it out a little bit more. Here are some before and after pictures. Here's her kitchen before
Her living room before.
This is Ty's mom walking into the house. I didn't get a picture of the family room before but it was just an offwhite color. Now it's a pretty blue.
The living room now. This was the morning she was coming home. As you can tell we worked up to the last second. There's still some blue tape on the wall.

We went to Cherry Hill the last weekend in August. It was so much fun and Pratt loved the water. We weren't sure how he was going to do with the colder water. He loves his baths but those are always warm. He didn't mind it at all.
Tyson even took him under a little water fall and he just sat there.

We always go to Park City in September for Swiss Days. I didn't pull out my camera very much I guess but here are a few at the hotel and at the swimming pool. This is Grandpa and Pratt.
Tyson at the pool getting some sun for his farmers tan and catching up on some reading.
Pratt with grandma. He loves the water!
I just love this picture. Tyson got a blanket out of the dryer and wrapped it around Pratt. Isn't my little baby boy adorable?
Like Father Like Son
We went to a BBQ when my cousin Jami was in town from Ohio over the summer. This is her baby Emri and Pratt. They are a day a part in age and friends for life.

Last but not least this is at the Wintle Reunion. Pratt and Brynlee made some hats (or their moms did.) These two don't look like it in this picture but they love each other. Check out the next one :)
Life has been crazy the last few months but so much fun. I can't believe Saturday is Halloween. I can't wait to see how Pratt reacts to this fun holiday. Stay tuned in the next week or so for pictures of our little Peter Pan.
